Chapter 39: The Falling Sun of the Taiyi Palace (2)

[Today's first update, ask for red tickets, collect]

Handing over a string of incense money, turning his head to look at Lu Ming, who was bowing sincerely in front of the incense case and kowtowing more than a dozen times in a row, Han Gang waited for him to stand up, and then asked, "Is Emperor Taitian also the function of Wenqu Xingjun?" Brother Lu worships so religiously? ”

"When you see the temple and worship it, you can ask for peace of mind, and you don't expect it to really work." Lu Ming probably didn't want to discuss this topic with Han Gang, so he took Han Gang to the side courtyard, and said, "If you really want to talk about the strong incense, the people who go to Beijing to worship are the two holy temples in the south of the city. ”

"Ersheng Temple?" Han Gang had only heard of Erlang God, and Erlang Gukou, who was named the Lingying Marquis by Renzong, was very famous in Shudi, but he had never heard of the two saints, "I don't know which two saints are offered?" ”

"Zilu, Zixia."

"Zilu? Zixia? Han Gang was stunned when he heard this, "Is it Zilu and Zixia among the seventy-two sages under the saint's sect?" ”

"It's Zilu and Zixia, the two sages."

"They don't offer in the Temple of Literature, how can they separate and build a temple? There was no imperial examination in the Spring and Autumn Period, right? I don't even know where the Jiupin Zhongzheng is, how can the two sages bless the Gongsheng Zhongjinshi? Han Gang couldn't figure it out, and asked a series of questions.

"Who says it isn't!" Lu Ming seemed to have forgotten the dozen or so kowtows he had just made in front of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and shook his head and said bitterly, "As a disciple of the Holy Sect, I worship those earth and stone puppets!" 'Worship ghosts and gods and stay away', 'Silent strange power and confusion', the teachings of the saints have all been forgotten. If the earth and stone are ignorant, how can they be involved in the talent ceremony? ”

This should have visited the Ersheng Temple and donated incense money, but every time it didn't work, and he was angry with Zilu and Zixia. After a few days, Han Gang had already seen through Lu Ming's temperament, but it would be boring to expose it.

He also smiled and said: "If you talk about worshipping God and asking for peace of mind, Qinzhou is also average. Han's hometown is near the temple of the Han general Li Guangzhi. As long as it is a hunter who goes into the mountains to hunt, he will worship General Fei if he has nothing to do. Flying will shoot a miracle, and stones can shoot into it. You can travel far away, but you must not worship him. ”

"Why?"

Han Gang smiled, the reason for not worshipping Li Guang when traveling is indeed very interesting: "Don't get lost and lose your way." ”

"Lost?" Lu Ming's head was full of question marks, full of doubts.

"Think about Li Guang, how many times he has been lost in his life! But as long as he can know the way, how can he be 'Feng Tang is easy to get old, and Li Guang is difficult to seal'? ”

"Ah...... Yes! Lu Ming sighed a few times, and his face suddenly changed, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled, "I see, I see!" Wonderful! Wonderful! It's wonderful! It's so much fun! ”

'Really figured it out?' Lu Ming smiled dryly, and Han Gang saw it in his eyes. Shaking his head secretly, it seems that Lu Gong Shengjinke has no hope again. It's nothing else, why didn't you even write down the "Historical Records"?! When taking the exam, it is indispensable to write an essay by citing scriptures and history. Lu Ming himself said that it was a pity that in the second year of Jiayou, the topic Ouyang Xiu came up with was not also excerpted from China's earliest history book, "Chinese"?

"Outside the capital, there is also a Zitong Temple!" Probably embarrassed, Lu Ming turned to the topic of Gongsheng worshipping God and seeking Jinshi, "The temple is on Lizhou Road, on the side of the road from Jinzhou to Shu. It is said that it is also extremely effective, and there is no one who does not worship the tributes who came out of Shu, and I heard that Su Zizhan and Su Ziyou also worshipped. Unexpectedly, Su Zizhan is open-minded, and he is not exempt from vulgarity. ”

Han Gang suddenly discovered that although Lu Ming didn't have much talent to learn, and he liked to brag nonsense, he did have goods in his stomach. It is rumored in all directions, allusions to the government and the opposition, and it is clearer than Wang Houdu. It seems that in the past 30 years, he has been coming and going in Tokyo a lot, and he is mixed among the scholars, and most of the time he spends studying is spent asking questions.

Out of the main hall and turning the corridor, Lu Ming took Han Gang to see the old plums that were said to have been planted by Chu Suiliang, a famous minister in the early Tang Dynasty. It's just that the plum courtyard is occupied early, and seven or eight scholars of different ages are sitting on the snow and under the plum, roasting braziers and drinking hot wine. is in full swing of poetry and poetry, and the wine order is carried out. Han Gang looked at those scholars, and glanced at Lu Ming again, he didn't expect that there were also people here who didn't take the upcoming provincial test to heart.

The elegant Confucian sat outside the house and drank on a cold day, except for reciting poetry and doing nonsense, there would be no other serious business. Han Gang was not interested in stepping forward to join in the fun, so he continued to walk forward slowly along the corridor. The scholars in the courtyard were accustomed to the visitors coming and going beside the courtyard and in the corridor, and the passage of Han Gang and Lu Ming did not interrupt their conversation.

A young man in his early twenties raised his glass and drank a glass of wine, spoke with a southern accent, and suddenly asked, "In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu." I don't know if you have heard of Wang Dashen's new poem? ”

His voice was very loud, and the familiar verses came over, and Han Gang pricked up his ears at once......

"Wang Dashen's new poem? Of course I did. The person who answered the call was also young, but he was a little thinner and had a southern accent, but it was the tone of the Fujian area, and he was obviously not the same villager as the previous person.

Han Gang chanted the last two sentences with him, "Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old talismans." ”

Han Gang's voice was very low, and he didn't alarm the scholars in the courtyard, but only listened to them say: "New Year, New Atmosphere, Wang Dashen's poem is clearly talking about changing the law. The Law of Equal Loss, the Law of Green Seedlings, and the Farmland Interest Treaty, Wang Dashen is not satisfied with these things, and I am afraid that the DPRK and China will make another big move this year. ”

The capital is not like Qinzhou, where high-ranking officials are called Xianggong. At the foot of the imperial city, the title of name is a very strict thing. Wang Anshi is still participating in political affairs, not the prime minister, and the abbreviation of participating in political affairs is Dashen, which is naturally Wang Anshi.

The poems that have been passed down through the ages were completed close to him, and Han Gang's feeling of walking into history suddenly deepened. It turned out that Wang Anshi's Yuan Ri was done under this circumstance.

New peach for old charm...... The new law is easy to change the old law...... No wonder. It seems that Wang Anshi is using this poem to show his determination.

"Big moves? Wang Dashen should be mentioning that he is going to change poetry into a righteous policy? ”

"How is it possible, it's time to try to change the scriptures. Thousands of tribute students in the city, when the time comes, they will hear the drums and knock on the books, who can't do it? ”

Han Gang's footsteps did not stop, and the ten-zhang long corridor walked away in a blink of an eye, and entered the side hall through the side door. Through the side door of the side hall, Han Gang stopped and stopped, only to hear the loud scholar in the courtyard say again: "Wang Dashen does a good job of poetry, but he can't get along with poetry." If it weren't for Su Zizhan, the Jinshi would have to change the Ming Sutra! ”

"Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, it has been hundreds of years, which time did you not use poetry in Jinshike? Wang Xianggong himself relied on poetry, but he crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and asked what scriptures and righteous policies! ”

"Su Zizhan said well, 'In terms of self-political affairs, poetry and policy theories are useless'. They are all 'people who win the world with empty words', what is the difference between using poetry and scripture and righteousness? ”

"If Sima Junshi, who was born in Shaanxi, proposed it, who would have thought that he would be from Jiangxi!"

A few people were talking in a southern and northern tone, gossiping for a while. In today's scientific examination, Wang Anshi wanted to change the poetry into a scripture and righteousness, but Su Shi discouraged him, which was last year. Han Gang had heard it from Wang Hou, and he knew a little bit about it. However, he didn't think that Wang Anshi would stop there, last year's suggestion should be just a trial, the time when Wang Anshi was on the table, the local test will begin, even if it passes, when the system reaches the whole country, the tribute students who have passed the test have already been selected - the test questions will only be poetry. Since Bagong uses poetry, can there be anything else that can be used in the provincial test?

Wang Anshi's proposal must be a test to see how many people will oppose this matter - just one Su Zizhan. Sima Guang agreed, what is the difficulty for Wang Anshi to pass the proposal? It's just a temptation!

Just like the college entrance examination reform in later generations, it will never be difficult for high school students who are currently studying, but it will be changed three years in advance to the heads of the high school freshmen who are about to enroll. Otherwise, which parents and students won't make trouble? Wang Anshi really wants to change the imperial examination system, and he will only implement it in the next subject.

"What are you complaining about? This time it's still poetry. Wang Neihan knew the tribute, and he received the order on the same day and entered the tribute courtyard to lock the courtyard. Can it be changed again?! ”

Neihan is the internal system of the two systems of officials - Hanlin Bachelor. The system is the meaning of the edict for the Son of Heaven. The two systems, namely the internal system of Hanlin Bachelors and the external system of Chinese scholars, are all officials who are qualified to draft edicts for the Son of Heaven. The Hanlin Bachelor is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, so it is an internal system, and the Zhongshu Sheren is subordinate to the Zhongshu Province, so it is an external system. Therefore, the Hanlin bachelor is commonly known as Neihan.

As far as Han Gang knows, among today's Hanlin scholars, there is only one surnamed Wang, which is Wang Qi and Wang Yuyu, who entered the department in the same year as Wang Anshi.

"Since it is Wang Yuyu's tribute, needless to say, it should be magnificent. It is important to pay attention to the examination room. ”

"Treasure Pill......," the other laughed.

Wang Jue's poems are full of gold, so the world is called the Supreme Treasure Pill, which Han Gang has also heard. Figuring out the examiner's mind and analyzing the scope of the exam questions, it seems that as long as it is an exam, it is the same, and the difference in the times has not caused much difference.

I only heard the Fujian lifter say again: "On the first night of this year, Wang Yuyu was recruited into the palace to make poems, but how many pens were collected from the concubines, and the sleeves were full of palace hairpins. ”

The speaker is envious, and the listener is fascinated. Such a grace, which scholar does not want to get it himself.

Another reminded: "Don't just look at Zhigongju. None of Lu Zhongcheng, Su Zhanghe and Sun Zhiyuan, who knew the tribute, liked the poetry full of gold and jade. ”

Han Gang did not participate in the imperial examination this time, and he was not interested in the character of the examiner. Wang Jue, who knew Gongju, he had heard from Wang Hou, and Lu Zhongcheng, who knew Gongju, was his teacher's master, Lu Gong. But Su Zhanghe and Sun Zhiyuan are both surnames and official abbreviations, but Han Gang is completely confused. He still knows too little about the court.

But he is not in a hurry, he already has an official body, and he has been in the officialdom for a long time, so he will naturally gradually know the Tao.
